India Under-19 were dealt an early setback in the second Youth ODI as captain Ayush Mhatre fell for a golden duck, trapped by a sharp delivery from AM French on just the second ball of the innings. With the visitors reeling at 10 for 1 in the opening over, the pressure now rests heavily on young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi to steady the innings and lead the recovery.

After the early blow of losing skipper Ayush Mhatre, India Under-19 have begun to steady the ship, thanks to positive intent from Vihaan Malhotra and Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Vihaan wasted no time in finding the boundary a couple of times, signalling his readiness to punish anything loose.

Vaibhav, too, shifted gears, taking on Sebastian Morgan with a crisp six and a four in the previous over to wrest some momentum back. Though the last couple of overs have been quiet with just two runs added, the visitors won’t be too concerned as the pair looks set to build a crucial partnership and lay a solid foundation at 29 for 1 after 5 overs.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi is putting on a masterclass as he continues to dominate the England Under-19 attack with his fearless strokeplay. After carving out a cracking boundary through point early in the over, he kept the scoreboard ticking with a well-placed pull for two.

The young IPL sensation then turned up the heat, hammering two more fours and a towering six to bring up a swift 50-run partnership with Vihaan Malhotra. Not content with that, Vaibhav launched another massive six in the next over before capping it off with a boundary off the final ball, firmly seizing control of the match for India at 61 for 1 in 9 overs.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s blistering knock finally came to an end, but not before he left a significant mark on the game. Facing Jack Home, Vaibhav cracked a boundary off the first ball, but in trying to keep up the aggression, he mistimed an upper cut on the very next delivery and was caught, handing Home a crucial breakthrough.

Despite the setback, India Under-19 remain in a strong position at 78 for 2 after 13 overs. Maulyarajsinh Chavda has joined Vihaan Malhotra at the crease, and with the onus now on Vihaan to maintain the momentum, he responded perfectly, finding the fence with a confident stroke off Sebastian Morgan’s bowling.

After a couple of tight overs from the hosts that kept the scoring in check, Maulyarajsinh Chavda finally found a way to break free, punching a much-needed boundary to ease the pressure. While Chavda had looked composed at the crease, he had struggled to rotate the strike consistently, something he will want to improve on as the innings progresses.

Vihaan Malhotra, too, played his part, finishing the over in style with a crisp four to keep the momentum ticking. Though the run rate has dipped since Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s dismissal, India Under-19 won’t be overly concerned at this stage, with the focus firmly on consolidating and building a solid partnership between these two set batters.

Just as the partnership seemed to be blossoming into something substantial, England found a crucial breakthrough when Green outfoxed Chavda for 22, ending a promising stand. At 119 for 3 in 21.3 overs, India have a solid foundation, but will now look to Vihaan to anchor the innings and convert his start into a big one.

Chavda, after initially playing himself in, shifted gears in the 20th over, cracking a couple of crisp boundaries off Alex Green to up the scoring rate.

Vihaan, meanwhile, has looked composed and assured, steadily approaching his half-century while keeping the scoreboard moving with smart strokes, including a boundary off Ralphie Albert as spin was introduced.

India Under-19’s innings took a slight hit as Vihaan Malhotra fell agonisingly short of his half-century, dismissed for 49 by Jack Home after being stuck in the 40s for a while. Just as he looked set to reach the landmark, a mistimed shot brought his solid knock to an end, handing England a key breakthrough.

However, Abhigyan Kundu has kept the scoreboard ticking, finding the gaps with ease and striking a couple of crisp boundaries off Isaac Mohammed to keep India’s scoring rate healthy at around 5.5 an over. With 150 up on the board, India remain in a good position, but will need Kundu and the new partner at the crease to build a meaningful stand.

The momentum has edged slightly towards England after those quick wickets, but with one strong partnership, India can wrest it back and push towards that 300-run mark.

India Under-19 suffered another setback as Abhigyan Kundu, after a promising start, fell for 32, unable to convert his fluent innings into a substantial score. Looking solid at the crease, Kundu’s attempt to keep the runs flowing ended in disappointment as he found the fielder at the wrong moment, handing England yet another breakthrough.

With India now 189 for 5 in 36 overs, the onus is firmly on Rahul Kumar and Kanishk Chouhan to steady the ship. Both batters have shown intent, finding a boundary apiece in the last over to keep the scoreboard moving, but they will need to stitch together a resilient partnership to guide India towards the 250-mark and beyond.

Rahul Kumar and Kanishk Chouhan are doing their best to inject momentum back into India’s innings after a period where runs had dried up and the pressure mounted. Rahul led the charge with back-to-back boundaries, eventually striking three fours in the over to ease the tension and steer India past 200.

Kanishk joined in, clearing his front leg to hammer a boundary over mid-wicket as both batters began capitalising on loose deliveries. Even so, the scoring rate has dipped to around five an over, and with an extra wicket lost along the way, India now face the dual challenge of rebuilding the innings while accelerating towards a competitive total.

Rahul’s six off a no-ball, followed by a four on the free hit, was a timely boost, but the visitors will need sustained aggression from here if they are to get close to that 300-run mark and wrest back control from England Under-19.

India Under-19's innings continued to stumble as wickets fell at regular intervals, disrupting any chance of sustained momentum. Kanishk Chouhan became the latest batter to fall short of a milestone, dismissed in the 40s like several of his teammates, while RS Ambrish contributed just 7 before departing.

Rahul Kumar, who had looked poised to anchor the innings, also fell heartbreakingly close to his half-century, dismissed for a well-compiled 47 by Jack Home, who continued to be England’s key strike bowler. Despite the flurry of wickets, India still managed to keep the scoreboard ticking, with 10 runs coming off the last over to lift the scoring rate to 5.75.

While the frequent dismissals have hampered India’s push towards a commanding total, Rahul’s knock was crucial in briefly swinging the momentum back in their favour. With only a few wickets in hand, India now need a final flourish to cross the 300-run mark.

India's hopes of reaching the 300-run mark were dashed in the penultimate over, as AM French produced a brilliant final spell to wrap up the innings. On the very first ball of the 49th over, Mohamed Enaan attempted a big shot but found Mayes in the deep, and French then sealed the innings by dismissing Patel on the final delivery.

Finishing with a superb four-wicket haul, French conceded just two runs in a decisive over that not only halted India’s momentum but also ensured they were bowled out for 290 in exactly 49 overs. It was a clinical finish by the hosts, who pegged India back just when a late surge looked possible.

India U19’s hopes of posting a towering total in the second Youth ODI at Northampton were dashed late in the innings by a stunning spell from England pacer AM French, who claimed 4 wickets—including two in a superb penultimate over—to limit the visitors to 290 all out. After an aggressive opening, India were eyeing a 300-plus total, but lost their way in the final phase of their innings.

Opting to bowl first, England’s decision was tested early as India’s teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi got off to a typically explosive start. The left-hander, who had smashed 48 off just 19 balls in the first match, looked in imperious touch again, racing to 45 with a flurry of boundaries and sixes, unsettling the England seamers. However, once Suryavanshi departed, the innings began to lose steam.

Skipper Ayush Mhatre, eager to make an impact after a quiet first ODI, was caught off guard early and dismissed for a duck. His early exit left India two down, and although a promising partnership began to build between Vihaan Malhotra and Rahul Kumar, it never fully blossomed. Malhotra fell agonisingly short of a half-century, his wicket coming at a crucial moment and halting India’s attempt to rebuild momentum.

Rahul Kumar looked steady during his stay, anchoring the middle overs with maturity, but was also dismissed in the 40s, missing out on a deserved fifty. Abhigyan Kundu, too, got a start but couldn’t convert it, falling before making any significant impact.

As wickets fell, the pressure mounted. The departure of in-form Chavda—after stitching a vital stand—put India firmly on the backfoot. From there, the innings struggled to regain rhythm, as England’s bowlers tightened the screws. French emerged as the standout, removing two batters in the 49th over while conceding just two runs. His spell proved match-defining, leaving India scrambling for runs at the death.

Earlier, India had looked well placed at 220 for 4, with a platform laid for an explosive finish. But the middle and lower-order collapses prevented them from capitalising fully, and they were bowled out with 9 balls still remaining in their innings.

While 290 is still a competitive score, it felt at least 20–30 runs short of what had seemed possible at one stage. For England, the bowling was disciplined after the initial onslaught, with French’s 4-wicket haul leading the effort. The series now hangs in balance as England prepare to chase, hoping to level things at 1-1, while India will rely on their strong spin attack to defend the total and carry forward their winning momentum.

England’s chase began cautiously with just three runs coming off the opening over, but India struck early to seize control. Yudhajit Guha delivered a probing spell and got the breakthrough as BJ Dawkins edged one behind, safely pouched by wicketkeeper Abhigyan Kundu.

The early blow put immediate pressure on the English top order. However, Ben Mayes responded with a crisp boundary, piercing the infield to ease the mounting pressure. With an early wicket down, England now need a solid partnership to stabilise their innings and wrest back momentum from the fired-up Indian bowlers.

England U19’s hopes of steadying their chase took a hit as RS Ambrish broke the promising stand, removing Ben Mayes for 27. Mayes, who had worked hard to support Isaac Mohammed, mistimed his shot and offered a simple catch to Enaan, leaving England 46 for 2 at the end of the 10th over.

Earlier, Mohammed had tried to break the shackles with a confident charge down the track, lofting one over extra cover for a boundary, before Mayes followed up with another to cap the over positively. But with two wickets down inside the powerplay, England now face the challenge of rebuilding their innings once again.

RS Ambrish continued his impactful spell, striking again to dismiss Isaac Mohammed, whose struggle at the crease finally ended after a laboured 11 off 30 balls. Vihaan Malhotra made no mistake with the catch, leaving England U19 reeling at 71 for 3 in 16 overs.

Rocky Flintoff tried to ease the mounting pressure, punching consecutive boundaries to break the shackles and inject some momentum into the innings. Although he managed another four off Ambrish to pick up the pace, three tight dot balls that followed kept the Indian bowlers on top. With a drinks break offering a brief pause, India will look to regroup and strategize to break this budding partnership.

That over yielded 10 crucial runs, helping England push to 109/3 in 24 overs. At the other end, Kanishk Chouhan has kept things tight, conceding just four runs in his last two overs and building pressure on the hosts as they search for a breakthrough.

Thomas Rew led England U19’s fightback with a flurry of boundaries, easing the pressure on his side as he struck a classic cover drive off Ambrish before finding fine leg for another four and finishing the over with yet another, bringing up England’s 150 and pushing the run rate past five.

Yudhajit Guha was reintroduced in search of a breakthrough, but Rocky Flintoff responded with a boundary to keep the momentum going. Although England’s scoring rate hovered just under five, they were edging closer to control of the chase.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s introduction saw Rew pounce again, smashing a four and a six to raise his half-century in style, with India now desperate for wickets as part-timers offered little threat.

Thomas Rew is putting on a masterclass as he continues to dismantle the Indian bowling attack with authority. The England U19 skipper showed no mercy to Ambrish, smashing him for a four and a six off the first two deliveries before adding two more boundaries at the end of the over, making it a 20-run over that swung the momentum firmly in England’s favour.

Rew soon reached a superb century, leading from the front with a commanding knock that has put England in control of the chase. The Indian spinners, in particular, have borne the brunt of his onslaught, with Rew hammering Enaan for another four and six to edge closer to three figures. With Rew in this mood, India are running out of answers.

India clawed their way back into the contest after Thomas Rew’s blistering assault had put England in command. Rew had earlier torn into Ambrish, smashing him for a four, a six, and two more boundaries in a single over that yielded 20 runs, lifting England’s hopes.

But just as the game seemed to be slipping away, Henil Patel delivered the breakthrough India desperately needed, removing Rew for a majestic 131, thanks to a sharp catch by Yudhajit Guha. Guha then tightened the screws further, bowling a tidy over for just five runs before striking again to dismiss Joseph Moores for 13.

With two wickets falling in quick succession, the momentum has firmly shifted in India’s favour, and another wicket could see them take complete control of the match.

India’s bowlers tightened their grip on the match as England’s chase continued to unravel following the dismissal of Thomas Rew. Henil Patel struck again, removing Jack Home for just 3 to deepen England’s troubles, while Ambrish delivered the killer blow by sending back Ralphie Albert for a fighting 17 — a wicket that may have sealed India’s victory.

Earlier, Albert briefly counterattacked with two doubles and a boundary in an eight-run over to bring up England’s 250, Patel responded with three dot balls to close out the over and keep the pressure firmly on the hosts.

In a heart-stopping finish, Yudhajit Guha couldn’t defend seven runs in the final over as England U19 clinched a memorable win with three balls to spare. Guha dropped to his knees in disappointment as Morgan sealed the match in style with a boundary, capping off a thrilling chase.

The young Indian bowlers fought valiantly, with Ambrish keeping the game alive by conceding just six runs in a tight penultimate over after removing Green. But in the end, England held their nerve better in the decisive moments, edging out India in a contest that showcased the resilience and talent of both sides.

Thomas Rew’s magnificent century under pressure and AM French’s decisive spell with the ball powered England U19 to a nail-biting one-wicket victory over India U19 in the second Youth ODI at Northampton’s County Ground.

Chasing 291 for victory, Rew anchored the innings superbly, compiling a brilliant 131 that kept England’s hopes alive even as wickets fell at regular intervals. The English skipper showed composure and class, striking timely boundaries and rotating the strike cleverly. His dismissal—caught off Henil Patel’s bowling—appeared to swing momentum back India’s way, with the hosts still needing vital runs and only the tail for company.

But England’s lower order held their nerve. Ralphie Albert’s crucial 18 and Morgan’s cool finish—sealed with a boundary off the third ball of the final over—ensured England edged past the target with just one wicket and three deliveries to spare, breaking Indian hearts in a game that swung wildly.

Earlier, India U19 had looked on course for a 300-plus total after promising knocks from Vaibhav Suryavanshi (45), Rahul Kumar (47) and Vihaan Malhotra (49). But AM French’s brilliant four-wicket haul, including two scalps in a pivotal penultimate over that cost just two runs, derailed their charge at the death.

Despite a strong start—where Suryavanshi’s blistering strokeplay set the tone—the middle and lower order couldn’t capitalise. Tight lines from England’s seamers, combined with sharp fielding, saw India collapse from a position of strength to 290 all out.

Defending 290, India’s bowlers kept the contest alive till the very end. Ambrish and Henil Patel led the charge with crucial wickets—Patel’s removal of centurion Rew and Ambrish’s strike to dismiss Albert seemed to have India within touching distance of victory.

Yudhajit Guha’s tidy penultimate over meant England required seven off the final over. But Morgan’s boundary off Guha sealed a dramatic finish, as England completed the chase to level the five-match series 1-1.
